I'm concerned about what schools are using to disinfect for H1N1. Cleaning supplies are often more hazardous than the H1N1virus itself. Here are some resources to help parents and teachers determine what their schools are using, and what they should be using: H1N1 in Schools and Environmental Working Group Report on Schools It all starts with asking your school how often they clean it (EVERY DAY should be the answer!).

Brooklyn Green Team is a grassroots organization devoted to reducing the environmental impact of ourselves and inspiring others to do the same by making small changes which make a big difference. Our blog offers useful tips, resources and news that can inspire green practices. Our Eco-Challenges such as the No Plastic Bag Challenge or the Bring Your Own Mug Challenge asks individuals to pledge to make small lifestyle changes in order to make a difference through collective action. Please contact us with your ideas, anything.

Park Slope Food Co-op Recycling DaysSome of the plastic the city won't take can be taken to the co-op even if you are not a member, this includes #1 and #2 plastics (not bottes or jugs), #4, #5 (only cups, tubs, caps and lids), and plastic film like dry cleaning bags, wrappers, etc. (no cellophane). All the plastic must be very clean and dry, particularly the #5 plastic. The coop can only accept plastics at the designated times listed below, and you must be willing to remain with your plastic while workers help you to sort it.
